Our Honeymoon
Our honeymoon was a wonderful one.. Too bad we didn't have any photos on our honeymoon.. coz Dan's camera was totally drained of battery.. and memory.. and my camera was left at home. Darn it?.. heh.. you got that right. Huhu.. Sedey betul.. Kena pergi balik honeymoon nih.. to relive and take photos. :D

Still worn out from the tiring wedding receptions, we had to wake up early (again) on monday morning, to catch our flights to Langkawi. Both of us didn't have much leave, so everything was crammed. Takpela.. we're off for holiday, where we would rest, relax and rejuvenate... and just enjoy each other's company. :)

We had bfast and my in-law's.. and after that mak and bapak drove us to KL Sentral, so that we could check in and get the ERL to KLIA. We intended to sleep in the ERL.. but failed. Dunno why.. too tired kot. You know.. sometimes when you get sooo damn tired you just can't sleep..

Our flight was at 11.45 am.. We reached Langkawi 55 minutes after departure. Upon arriving at LGK airport, the driver was already waiting for us, to transport us to the Pelangi Beach Resort. Pelangi wasn't really our first choice.. we wanted to go to The Datai initially but we couldn't coz it was fully booked. Anyways... when we reached the hotel, we feel very much welcomed and comfortable with the hotel's environment and all the staffs. We're so glad to have made the choice to stay there. :D

We checked in.. and we got discounts for our extension stay.. govn servants' rate.. :) And later we were shown to our room which was a first floor, sea-facing room. We were driven to our room on a buggy. :) hehe.. syok woo!

The room was splendid!.. The exterior was wooden, traditional-malay-house-like.. and the interior was nicely decorated and furnished. It had a balcony overlooking the sea, a walk-in wardrobe with attached bath. We're both so pleased with the room. Upon arrival, we had a fruit basket and a bottle of sparkling juice waiting for us.. All included in the Romantic Interlude Package that we booked for. We just spent the rest of the day relaxing, and replenishing our energy with a loong, good afternoon nap.

Oh.. some time whilst we were asleep.. Dan's office called and asked him to fly.. what the f*** man!! :p My guy's on leave for the next 8 days or so goddemmit!

Later in the afternoon, we took a cab to Kuah to Dan's very close friend's house. It was very nice of him to have offered us to use his car while we're in LGK. It was a very nice car too! :)

Our first meal in Langkawi was at McDonald's.. Haha.. jalan jauh2 carik McD jugak. :p Sbb itu je yang senang jumpa, and confirmed sedap di tekak kitorg. After that we loitered around the shopping complex (can't remember the name) and shop for finger foods and soft drink. Later we did a quick Kuah tour.

The next day, we had our first buffet breakfast.. and was a gastronomous treat! We enjoyed the scones the most. Perfectly made, added with lotsa butter and jam... sinfully fattening.. Haha.. but none of us could give a s*** abt that. Hahaha!! (ooh... i gained some xtra pounds after the honeymoon, fyi.. hampeh tol!) We enjoyed the mango juice too.. Thick and not too sweet.. Nearly as thick as the juice i had in mecca. :)

After breakfast, we went to the Airport.. (like Duh!~) to do some shopping. Dan bought me a pair of sunglasses... we shop for some other stuffs.. Haha.. nak kena shopping kat airport jugak2.. sbb Dan nak make use of his crew ID. :)

In the afternoon, we went back to the hotel for our spa appointment. Relaxing massage for 2 at the Teratai Spa. A very tranquil place, nice and green. The massage was more thai-ish than balinese.. but it was good.. Even more so with my hubby on the other massage bed receiving the same treatment as i was. Heavenly!~

After the good relaxing massage, we tried our hands on mini golf. Hehe.. my first experience ever with golfing. Didnt even know how to hold the club right for god's sakes... Tp best.. coz hubby showed me how.. hehe.. mcm dlm drama tv je rasanya.. scene org kaya gatai nak ajar secretary main golf tu.. haha.. yang kena peluk2 sket tu... Hehehe... ;) Mini golf was indeed fun! We got a good excercise, especially Dan.. coz he had to look for my golf balls.. yang hilang coz i'd usually hit the ball to hard in god-knows-which direction.. Haha... berpeluh2 hasben i. But we had fun... We didn't manage to finish all 9 holes though. We stopped short of 2 holes, coz my golf ball got stuck at hole number 7, it just went missing, so we figured that it was stuck.. and Dan just threw his golf ball into the same hole and both got stuck and that was the last time we saw the 2 golf balls.. Hehe..

That night, we scheduled to have our romantic candlelight dinner on the balcony. It was a 3 course dinner, delivered one after the other by a private butler. The food was delicious, the butler friendly and helful, the environment is just perfect... with the sea breeze lightly touching our faces.. it was bliss. :).. Ohh... and did i mention the lovely dessert? We had tiramisu and it was to die for!! So rich and creamy... simply fantastic!!!

The next morning, we had our breakfast in the room. The hotel had someone sent our breakfast to the room and just sat there enjoying brakfast. However, we prefer the buffet breakfast... Lots more to choose from, and plenty to enjoy. :)

After breakfast, we went for the cable car ride. Didn't spend so long there coz it was starting to rain... And did some shopping at Atma Alam @ the oriental village. In the afternoon, we visited Dan's aunt in Kuah town.. and continued with some shopping. Nothing big though.. just small stuffs like chocs. After that, we had to send the car back to Dan's friend's residence... Hmm.. :( 'Twas sad.. but it had to be done... we enjoyed the car sooo much!

The next day, it was already time to go home... Kejap je rasanya... :( The limo driver picked us up at 12.30, upon settling our bills and whatever stuffs... We hated the idea of going back... tp.. takleh la plak nak duduk situ lama2 sgt... Hehe.. but we plan to come back annually. :) Ada one of the hotel staff siap cerita.. ada guest yang mmg frequently pergi situ, every 2 yrs dtg bwk newborn.. hehe.. made in pelangi beach baby. :p Hakhak!! Apa raa guest tu.. itu pon nak cerita kaaa....

Anyways, we had a really good time at Pelangi Beach & Spa Resort. Thank you to all the hotel staffs that helped made our honeymoon an enjoyable and memorable one. We loved every moment spent at the hotel. :)
